A: Hey there! Did you hear about the news with Harvard?
B: Nah, what's up?
A: Turns out, a federal court in the US said Trump's team needs to undo their freeze on grants to Harvard. They said it was illegal.
B: Oh, wow! That's serious stuff, right?
A: Yeah, and you know how Trump has been telling universities to follow his policies about Israel and diversity? Well, he's putting pressure on them by taking away their federal funds.
B: I see... So Harvard took things to court then?

B: Wow, that's really something. So they won, right?
A: Yeah! The judge ordered more than 2 billion dollars in federal grants to Harvard be released again. But the White House says they will appeal immediately.
B: That must not sit well with Trump and his team...
A: Also, the court ruling could impact their negotiations about foreign students at Harvard too. It's a big deal!
